Scanning 35mm film with Epson 4490 in Ubuntu

rated 0 times [ 0] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 681 / 1 Year ago, mon, march 20, 2023, 9:57:20

I have read the guides on downloading drivers for the Epson 4490 from Epson and Vuescan from Hamrick.com, but am unclear on whether Ubuntu will let me use the film scan utility?

Can anyone confirm I can use all the scan modes in Ubuntu with this scanner before I obliterate my Windows OS?

Thanks

I decided to take a chance and install Ubuntu despite not getting the scanner up and running from the DVD. It seems that was the problem.

After installation, I added the 3 .deb files above and it works a treat.
